When you think of all the distractions available to car drivers that bikers do not have, it stands to reason that bikers are concentrating on the road ahead where as its more or less certain that car drivers 60-80% of the time are either talking on their phone, texting, reading the paper, playing with their CD collection, lighting up a smoke, talking to their passenger, shouting at the kids, looking at a map\satnav, picking their nose, eating their bigmac they just bought from the drive through or one of a hundred things that can cause distractions to a car driver that is denied to bikers, its these things that should be addressed before they look at reducing speed limits.
